They have no need to hate me. I help most reporters who ask for help and are earnest. There are some reporters I will choose not to collaborate with or assist.
TSL is one of my new favorite channels on youtube. i love all ur commentary on usa gymnastics and not just giving ur opinion but also bringing in people who where on the inside to tell what they saw. LOVE THIS CONTENT.
Dave, this is amazing work! Rarely do we see an interviewer who knows more than just the "talking points" of a subject. You did a great job engaging Geza and I'm sure he hasn't been interviewed by someone so knowledgable. Thank-you!
This is such a great interview, you really get in there and ask the juicy questions. I wish you would interview former Romanian gymnasts such as Emilie Aberle because all of the interviews on you tube with them can’t be translated to English via their videos. We can read the comment with translation but i want to hear the interviews. Apparently a lot of the gymnasts have spoken about the abuse from Bella but i want you to interview them because you know just what to ask and how. Also the gymnasts who trained at Deva under Octavian too. I know that a lot won’t talk negatively about him but those who do deserve to be heard world wide and not just in Romania. Please, please please interview them. One coach in Romania hit his gymnast so much she literally died in the locker room. He totally got away with it cos it was labelled as acceptable punishment for an elite gymnast. Absolutely disgusting!
Im honestly so jealous of you dave you get to talk to so many interesting people and and know so much inside info and are just so knowledgeable about skating and gymnastics!!
Really enjoy these kind of long format interviews. There is enough structure that you are guiding the convo but the guest is relaxed and very chatty and honest (opposite of typical lame scripted, speaking point, key message-y and rushed interviews on mainstream media). P.S. I enjoyed zooming in on his bookshelf and wall art!
Thank you for this thoughtful, thorough interview. Thank you for listening, and allowing Pozsar to speak freely. Fascinating to hear his stories, very revealing about the psychology and history behind the Karoly legacy. As a dancer, I also enjoyed the stories of how how he works with individual gymnasts.
"Marta was very constipated." HAHAHA! Love this guy. Dave, as many commenters have said -- you are a gift. VERY good interview skills, thank you so much. Keep being you!
Very interesting interview. I feel very conflicted about Geza. It’s good he’s speaking out now but I find it difficult to understand how Geza could be friends with the Karolyis despite witnessing the years and years of abuse. Not just in Romania, but in the US too.
Dave's face at 20:40 makes me want to adopt him, that sweet little boy! Somehow I'm not surprised that Bela would routinely make fun of his athletes' competitors. Thanks for the great interview. You're doing a great job, TSL is the only channel I'm purposefully NOT skipping ads on :)
Dave, I barely watch tv anymore cause you're giving us so much amazing content. Another great interview, and I had to lol when he admitted he and Bela used to talk shit about everyone at the competitions...smh
Geza reported on Bela to Romania’s secret service while working with him and being his friend, and he does not seem to be ashamed of it. What a moral person! Also, funny when he said that Bela was just lucky 3 times in his life - just lucky , here is the secret of his achievements
I’m a huge gymnastics fan like you Dave and I understood every aspect of that podcast. I wish we could get together and just chat about gymnastics as a fan. I ran into Márta once at the Seattle airport as the team was departing the pacific alliance championships in 2012 and i told her congratulations and she was so cold and awkward as if I she saw me as if I was a very disgusting, mediocre, insignificant person but I was just simply just letting her know I was attended the meet and was a fan.
So interesting hearing his take on Dominique Dawes and her compulsory routine... At the 1996 Olympics, Dawes's Compulsory Floor and Optional Floor was my favorite out of the whole team...
This was amazing. I love your interviews. You are always so well prepared and speak to the interviewees in such detail about their careers and work. This was a great conversation, and I can’t wait to see you do more interviews.
Just listened to the podcast. So many more questions now than before. If there’s a gymnast I felt was so screwed over by the system it’s Rebecca bross. I am hoping one day she will come out and tell her truth.
Thank you for another outstanding interview and for asking all the questions that gym fans have been dying to hear! Thrilling! I watched it twice. Loved how you impressed him with your knowledge and totally won him over by the end of the interview. Phoebe Mills as an "accountant"??? Dominque Moceanu was "spooky"???? Thank you for turning my attentoin to Michelle Campi's floor routines; I have decided her 1992 one has got to be one of the loveliest of all time. Hope there is a part two, would love to hear the story behind Eberle's infamously bad floor routine!
So after listening to the 30 for 30 podcast I'm glad to know he was an ally of the girls, but I still think he needs to be prosecuted for Crimes Against Choreography.
@@e2theeyepie I'm assuming so. That stuff was really awful. I mean I guess points for trying to do something new and not just copying the Soviet style, but the weird thrashy, spazzy stuff was a miss.
What a good interview and what a storyteller! Brings back memories of Atlanta. I remember staying up until early morning european time to watch the team event. Devil went down to Georgia was good. But my favourites were by Dina Kochetcova, Podkopayeva and for some reason, Simona Amanar's. With a special mention for 'la Sveta', falling to the floor like Katarina Witt and popping her head up at the final beat
Amanar was one of my favorites, too. As far as the artistry goes . . . believe me, I know, but there was something there that always made me pull for her.
Disgusting that neither had elite gymnastics experience and tortured young girls for their mistakes. Bela's motivation techniques sound like the triangulation narcissists use, putting two people against each other to complete for the narcissist's attention.
This was phenomenal. I think it was really great to let him ramble but always towards the end I was like wait what is he even saying anymore? 😂 Each tangent went really far. I loved it.
I LOVED this!! I could easily listen to another 2 or 3 hours. Great job, Dave, on sitting quiet. It was a little unsettling to listen to this guy talking about the beatings and abuse of the girls in Romania and half laughing while telling the tale. Was that just nervous energy?
What about Geza? Watched Bela beat one girl so bad, he broke her ribs, beat another so bad, she peed herself, did not step in, AND STILL STAYED PALS WITH THE GUY!!
"Rrr Rrr Rrr" The sound of Dave reeling in a REALLY BIG interview! 🐬 Congratulations Dave! One day, one of these will wind up on ABC World News Tonight!
I only follow gymnastics during the Olympics but this was so interesting. So close to Romanian politics in a way that British gymnasts would be shocked by
Ok... So Geza watched Bela beat one girl so bad, he broke her ribs, another so bad, she peed herself, did not step in, still stayed pals with this monster of a man, AND YOU, DAVE, DID NOT PICK IT UP WITH HIM???????? I am amazed, and not in a good way!
That is sad indeed but no one died . Not even suicide except for Geddert. People die every day from guns in the USA (and the world as well) . Monster is reserved for killers
I don’t have time to watch this entire interview right now. I will at some point. But I hope Geza was asked what his secret was. How could he so consistently come up such bad choreography? They say even a blind squirrel eventually finds a nut. Not Geza. Every one of his routines made you want to throw up in your mouth a little.

Dave, you've nailed the most important skill of interviewing: when to listen and let the interviewee talk. So rare these days.10.0. Thank you.
Elizabeth Lockhart 🙏
I can’t imagine how much gymnastics reporters must hate you, Dave! 😉 This is amazing, thank you for delivering the goods!

Love this Documentary, Geza is just wonderfully talented ❤️
This is one of the very best interviews ever. All the stories, all the languages...such a remarkable fund of knowledge. Love.
Hungarians Rumanians are storytellers of the highest order.
Dave, this is amazing work! Rarely do we see an interviewer who knows more than just the "talking points" of a subject. You did a great job engaging Geza and I'm sure he hasn't been interviewed by someone so knowledgable. Thank-you!

D Leo I am amazed that Dave did not pick up either of these threads. Stepped over and went on, as if it didn’t matter

This was fascinating. Dave, you were so well researched and hit everything. I love how forthcoming Geza is these days. Really enjoyed this interview.
This is my favorite interview you have done so far. This was fascinating. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So interesting hearing his take on Dominique Dawes and her compulsory routine... At the 1996 Olympics, Dawes's Compulsory Floor and Optional Floor was my favorite out of the whole team...
She was great!
i love coach geza he works at my gym he calls me olive and somtimes a constipated gymnast
Very interesting interview. Thank you for posting.

I think Geza meant that Moceanu was spunky!
Love Geza🤗 great interview.
Glad you enjoyed it
Fascinating. But you need subtitles! Have you ever interviewed Kim Kelly?
So after listening to the 30 for 30 podcast I'm glad to know he was an ally of the girls, but I still think he needs to be prosecuted for Crimes Against Choreography.
Was he responsible for Team Romania's FX routines at 1978 Worlds? ***SHUDDER***
@@e2theeyepie I'm assuming so. That stuff was really awful. I mean I guess points for trying to do something new and not just copying the Soviet style, but the weird thrashy, spazzy stuff was a miss.
@@e2theeyepieYes 💀

I loved amanars floor routine too
Thank you so much for this interview

Oh my goodness, this is going to be epic! I've always enjoyed Geza and his perspective on gymnastics.
It really is!
Disgusting that neither had elite gymnastics experience and tortured young girls for their mistakes. Bela's motivation techniques sound like the triangulation narcissists use, putting two people against each other to complete for the narcissist's attention.
This was phenomenal. I think it was really great to let him ramble but always towards the end I was like wait what is he even saying anymore? 😂 Each tangent went really far. I loved it.
Great and interesting interview. Much respect and kudos to the guy giving the interview!! He asks great questions and is an excellent listener! 👍
❤️❤️
Man. You can tell Dave knows and wants to say " She definitely got a 10.0 on FX at the American Cup."
Thank you for this interview!
Also, Dave, you are looking fantastic =)
Thank you kindly!
I LOVED this!! I could easily listen to another 2 or 3 hours. Great job, Dave, on sitting quiet. It was a little unsettling to listen to this guy talking about the beatings and abuse of the girls in Romania and half laughing while telling the tale. Was that just nervous energy?
Bela is 100% certified monster.
he should be in jail along with most of USA gymnastics
What about Geza? Watched Bela beat one girl so bad, he broke her ribs, beat another so bad, she peed herself, did not step in, AND STILL STAYED PALS WITH THE GUY!!
@@miriam3848 good point
Excellent interview! Thanks for sharing great content.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Did I hear a Boginskaya mention? LOVED her!!!
Thanks for the content!!❤️❤️
You are so welcome!
"Rrr Rrr Rrr" The sound of Dave reeling in a REALLY BIG interview! 🐬 Congratulations Dave! One day, one of these will wind up on ABC World News Tonight!
fabulous as ever, dave!
Thank you!
I’m glad he told his truth but this man allowed abuse to happen which makes him just as guilty as the person committing the abuse.
This is so interesting! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
wow amazing. thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Geza is such an adorable guy!
I want to hear more...
Astrid Timmer he is the kind of person who is very easy to talk to and has seen a great deal during his career.
@@TheSkatingLesson yes indeed, he is nice to listen to. His experiences .... so many
I only follow gymnastics during the Olympics but this was so interesting. So close to Romanian politics in a way that British gymnasts would be shocked by

Awesome interview!
Thank you!

@JET MECH Why thank you ! I am famous for my stupidity , vfc. And it's "what A stupid comment" in proper english
Did that part at the end mean we’ll be getting a second part?
Perhaps!
Bela clearly sacrified Kerri in 1992 by having her water down her floor dismount in team finals in 1992
Romania has only one capital Bucharest....
😂 You picked the main point of this interview and story 😂
I don’t have time to watch this entire interview right now. I will at some point. But I hope Geza was asked what his secret was. How could he so consistently come up such bad choreography? They say even a blind squirrel eventually finds a nut. Not Geza. Every one of his routines made you want to throw up in your mouth a little.
Dave knows everything! lol! it's kinda true though
Ha
